My rule is not to go too tall with the stack height as it could negatively affect the amount of thread engagement at the top bearing race and locknut. You should maximize the amount of threads engaging on those two parts to have the safest installation. Going a little bit short (than just right) with the headset stack height is safer as you can always make it up with spacers between the top race and locknut as needed.
